The Hawks 1st rounder is going to the Spurs unprotected. They have zero incentive to tank, and I expect Johnson to be a great and high minutes player and don't sleep on Dyson Daniels.
I expect the trio of Young/Johnson and Risacher to be super deadly pretty quickly. Risacher is super high IQ and versatile, he is going to fit right in. I can't wait to see it.
this is not a surprise at all, He was a highly ranked highschool recruit and scouts were drooling abt his game. he just had limited playing time when he played at duke and wasnt fully able to showcase his whole bag. which made him underrated coming into the draft. He could've easily cracked the top 5 at highest and late lottery worst case scenario but somehow was overlooked and slid down to 21. Reminds me of what cam whitmore is going through. was projected top 5 then slid down to 20, if you know you know
I really like him and I’m happy to see vids like this one when you recognize good young players… Keep up the great work man! Love the vids and the stats you show in the vids…
I think best thing for y’all is trading Hunter and maybe some other guys outside the Trae/Dyson/Zach/JJJ/Bogi core for picks in next seasons draft for a quick re-tool - I personally see them trading Onyeka is the right move. I think JJ and Zach project to be solid number #2 and #3 options and Dyson projects to be one of the best POA defenders in the league (just needs to improve the jumpshot).
Hey Alex, great video! Just wanted to say I think a video idea that would be cool would be like top 10 breakout players or top 10 players who will take big jumps in productivity or maybe even top 10 most underrated/slept on players. I love your content and how analytical your approach is. :)
When he jumps to over 20 points per game this season and Atlanta is more competitive than some expect, Johnson will earn MIP as this year's breakout prospect. He's still just 22.
This is a guy everybody should pick up in fantasy .. stat sheet stuffer & with him being the 2nd option this year he could easily be looking at 20/10&5
Jalen Johnson didn't play a lot in his debuts bc of old coach Nate McMillan he played AJ more than JJ I was so mad but sinc Quin Snyder took over we really see his talent
Love JJ, really hope his development goes well this year. In 2K24 and 25 I’ve made my MyPlayer to play like him, even got him in my “Shades of…” a few times. Let’s go Hawks!
Jalen Johnson might drop an efficient 20 a game this season. Even in his breakout year last season, he was hindered by an injury. Very optimistic on what he can accomplish.
Man i really wanted Toronto to use Siakam as a piece to trade for Jalen, cant imagine how ridiculous ly good it would have been to see IQ, RJ, Scottie, Jalen, and Jakob in a starting lineup
trae young needs a point forward and if he can be that guy that would help a lot trae young without having the ball that much and play offball. Hawks needs a good coach that has a system tho
As a Hawks fan, the one word I would use to describe Jalen is "Trust" . I trust him on defense, with the ball in his hands, in the clutch, as a shooter, as a passer. The Hawks are inconsistent at the best of times with Trae as the PG, but Jalen is very consistent. He's just REALLY solid. He absolutely has all-star potential and I'd even say he has potential to be a superstar if it was HIS team. His size and what all he can do with that size makes him a bit of a unicorn in my opinion.
BABE WAKE UP ALEX FINALLY DROPPED THE JJ VIDEO
Even playing along 2 ball dominant players, he still managed to up his stats exponentially..that alone shows how good he is
We not wining a ring this year 😉
@@xer005829 of 30 teams dont. It's okay. Just enjoy the season lol.
hawks fan here and glad ppl are starting to notice just how good he is! Jalen Johnson All Star 🔜
Brace yourself for a season of trade rumours from everyone trying to poach'im.
He’ll never be all star caliber
@@kitothekito915 i gurantee you he will, 20 and 10 season comin right up
Easily has 20/10/5 a night potential imo..hopefully Hawks know what they have here
Hawks have a lot of players that they really should pay more attention to. Okongwu is also one of them hidden gems
The team made him untouchable in regards to trade talks this past summer so that should tell you everything
They do. Jalen and Trae were the only untouchables last trade deadline. FO/coaches knew as early as last November.
The Hawks 1st rounder is going to the Spurs unprotected. They have zero incentive to tank, and I expect Johnson to be a great and high minutes player and don't sleep on Dyson Daniels.
@@Law-of-EnTropy O will eventually take over Capela's spot as the starting center, he isn't quite there yet.
Adding Dyson and Risacher ATL could be something soon
finally someone makes a video on this guy. he's the mould for the modern day power forward
I expect the trio of Young/Johnson and Risacher to be super deadly pretty quickly. Risacher is super high IQ and versatile, he is going to fit right in. I can't wait to see it.
Don't forget Andre.....he's a big part of the process.

He has the potential to be for Trae what John Collins was supposed to be, if he isn't there already.
They need to get collins back somehow
I’m also really liking what I’m seeing from Risacher. ATL will be a top 6 seed. For sure
Jalen should be taking a lot of Hunter's shots. Dre being #2 every night isn't sustainable for the Hawks. Dude's Mr. Inconsistency.
I love when great channels like your own recognize upcoming talent 🔥🔥🔥
#2025MIP Award Upcoming 😈
As a hawks fan, I'm hoping we figure it out. We have such great pieces with trae, jj, zach, onyeka, bogi. I am desperate for another playoffs run!

Love the Jalen Johnson appreciation, we know we have a future All-Star blooming 🌟
THANK YOU
The Hawks are really interesting this year, Jalen Johnson is there new #2 and I love that.
He doing good over the summer for what I have seen at the summer runs he’s worked on his shot as well
Hey Alex, great video! Just wanted to say I think a video idea that would be cool would be like top 10 breakout players or top 10 players who will take big jumps in productivity or maybe even top 10 most underrated/slept on players. I love your content and how analytical your approach is. :)
Yeah those fade aways look great
When he jumps to over 20 points per game this season and Atlanta is more competitive than some expect, Johnson will earn MIP as this year's breakout prospect. He's still just 22.
The new kid will be the best player on the team in two to three years. But Johnson is going to be phenomenal as well.
I remember him having some character concerns which kept him from being picked higher. Talent wise he was a top 6-7 draft pick.
And even then his “character concerns” weren’t even merited 😂 he was always going to play.
@@realdreamerschangetheworld7470yup lol .. they said he has character issues for simply leaving school early lol
Yeah I agree. He's had no issues since coming into the league.
this video singlehandedly saved my fantasy team. Thank you
He’s a beast.
drafted him in fantasy this year, hope he continues to grow
This is a guy everybody should pick up in fantasy .. stat sheet stuffer & with him being the 2nd option this year he could easily be looking at 20/10&5
Last year I was actually watching the hawks and I’m a fan of bro. I hope he continues to improve. That potential is crazy
Jalen Johnson didn't play a lot in his debuts bc of old coach Nate McMillan he played AJ more than JJ I was so mad but sinc Quin Snyder took over we really see his talent
Love the breakdowns! Keep up the great videos.
Love JJ, really hope his development goes well this year. In 2K24 and 25 I’ve made my MyPlayer to play like him, even got him in my “Shades of…” a few times. Let’s go Hawks!
I can’t wait to watch JJ production this year.
COOOOOOOOK ALEXXXXX
Great video go Hawks!
Yessss Hawks content!!!!!
Those were some slick clips of Jaylen slipping between the double teams😅😅
As I hawks fan (look at my pfp 😂) Jalen Johnson is one of my favorite young players!
For the first time in my life, I am excited to see the hawks play
Risacher looks good.
Oh, we gonna make some heads turn for sure! Just wait.
He been doing this since high school nothing new 💯
A lot of comments for a hawks post. This guy covers nba basketball interesting. Hawks have something fans are looking forward to.
So basically, he's John Collins, but good?
Jalen Johnson might drop an efficient 20 a game this season. Even in his breakout year last season, he was hindered by an injury. Very optimistic on what he can accomplish.
Hoping he can stay healthy, sky’s the limit
he has the shot simmons shouldve had from the getgo
As a Hawks fan when I saw his first game last year I knew he was going to pop off, he nearly had a triple double😱😊
Reminds me a lot of John Collins before the hand injury (plus better passing)
finally someone mentions him
Man i really wanted Toronto to use Siakam as a piece to trade for Jalen, cant imagine how ridiculous ly good it would have been to see IQ, RJ, Scottie, Jalen, and Jakob in a starting lineup
Noiiiice!
Been saying this since he was in high school, this is Ben Simmons with a jumper
Atl will be interesting this year because this might be the best fitting team for Trae young so far
Alex says that he can’t say enough good things about Jalen Johnson, and yet the video eventually ends 🤔
I knew he was gonna be good sad my team didn’t get him tho
Need that hoodie post the link
What would you think of the Clippers sending Kawhi to New Orleans for BI, Herb Jones and a first?
My man JJ got robed of the MIP...
why don’t more people believe in the hawks? i mean.. they seem to have solid pieces and a superstar in trae
Time to talk abt tejon saluen
trae young needs a point forward and if he can be that guy that would help a lot trae young without having the ball that much and play offball. Hawks needs a good coach that has a system tho
Jalen Johnson remind me of #JoshSmith
As a Hawks fan, the one word I would use to describe Jalen is "Trust" . I trust him on defense, with the ball in his hands, in the clutch, as a shooter, as a passer.

I think he’s lowkey Paolo lite , just not as tall.
cool
Am I the only one who wants your sweatshirt?
Babe go back to sleep it’s not the Amen Thompson video yet
Algorithm
You are looking a lot like Luka Doncic!
The only thing I dont like about JJ is he is gonna be bad at D at the PF slot
He has the height of the average power forward. I think he’ll be fine at least today’s NBA.
@@Thrashippie he is 6'7 and has a slim body. He is a defensive liability cant guard the best PFs today just like John Collins.
@@roslolian11 6 8 Zion is 6 6
Jalen is a true 6’9”. He is taller side by side than 6’8” Onyeka and Larry Nance.
@@Thrashippie Zion is built like a mach truck he is like an athletic Draymond Green
u watch the defense from this guy after getting $150m it’s absolutely unacceptable.
If bron wasn't the first option
Is Bam a legitimate 2nd option?
Not sure, but he’s better overall player at this stage.
Consistent pull-up will define his ceiling.
Pretty much a better Rui Hachimura
Hawks 6 seed
Sorry .....jalens no longer a secret .....hes been exposed.
Jalen is just like collins without trae there playing ability will go down.
first
Good for you
